GBW #32: Culture Clash (Drive [1997] / Rush Hour / Silent Assassins)

<p>Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more!</p> <p>This week, Ryan and Chris dive into a trio of buddy cop/buddy action films of the "East Meets West" motif. We start with 1997's "<strong>Drive</strong>," an energetic, no-frills "<strong>Terminator</strong>" meets "<strong>Midnight Run</strong>" blast that has slowly developed a cult following over the years (and hopefully more people come away from this episode as converts), then move into 1998's "<strong>Rush Hour</strong>," a film that needs no introduction but perhaps some may need to throw away those rose-tinted glasses (spoiler: aside from <strong>Jackie Chan</strong>'s action scenes, it sucks), before ending with a very special piece of VHS dirtbaggery that is just itching to be discovered by the world: 1988's "<strong>Silent Assassins</strong>," starring <strong>Sam Jones</strong>, <strong>Linda Blair</strong>, and a whole lotta dismembered body parts.&nbsp;</p> <p>You can find this and future episodes on our website&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thegoodbadwhat.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">thegoodbadwhat.com</a>.
